(28,363 posts)So many excellent choices as always.
I love the whimsy of "Drive-Thru." The look on the dog's face is fantastic.
I ended up voting for "Ford Model A" because it feels like the warm hazy contented idleness of summer afternoons at my grandmother's house.

Because dog.
"Back to a warm ship"
Because my sweet neighbor does research in Antarctica every year.
"Good Mornin' America"
I like riding the train.
But "The WOODY" is my fav.
It's beautiful countryside that looks so familiar to me.

(7,897 posts)Car toon: the 1941 idea of a terrific car, great (exterior) woodwork, no aerodynamics, incredibly tidy and useful, room for kids, Christmas trees, all the accessories of middle class life.
Ford Model A: the father of a billion cars for everyone's dreams, use, desire to drive anywhere, and a beautiful machine still.
Back to a warm ship: because here, in August, Winter Is Coming.
Santa Barbara Chrome: The automobile dream on peyote.
Then I voted for one.

(14,559 posts)emotion and evoke feelings.
In the latter category is "There will be another train". It's dark, a bit moody and quite evocative. Street photography at it's best.

(3,943 posts)I enjoy taking pictures but I've always been amazed at how some people just have THE EYE. Such great pictures. I don't know how they do it.
